Why do this walk?
A string of dramatic castles along the coast punctuate your walk.
The serene beauty of the wide open bays of Northumbrian beaches are reason enough themselves!
Take an extra day to cross the tidal causeway to Holy Island with Lindisfarne Castle and Priory.
This is an easy, mainly flat walk on generally good paths - no need to over exert yourself!
Northumberland Coast Path
The Northumberland Coast is best known for its sweeping beaches, imposing castles, rolling dunes, high rocky cliffs and isolated islands. Amidst this striking landscape is the evidence of an area steeped in history, covering 7000 years of human activity. A host of conservation sites, including two National Nature Reserves testify to the great variety of wildlife and habitats also found on the coast.
The 64miles / 103km route follows the coast in most places with an inland detour between Belford and Holy Island. Most of the paths are public rights of way (footpaths and bridleways), but in some places beaches, minor roads, tracks and permissive paths are used. The route is generally level with very few climbs.
